I’m using hugo + github page to build my blog. In github, I set the blog to built from the gh-pages branch.
I want to use custom sitemap.xml. So I put my sitemap.xml in layouts/_default/ and /static folder.
First I use sitemap.xml begin with {{ printf "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"utf-8\" standalone=\"yes\"?>" | safeHTML }}, and I could open it in web.
sitemap
but in google, It always said, Unsupported file format.
Could you please help this issue? Thanks!
My site maps starts with <sitemapindex xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9">.
Your starts with <urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9" ...

[outputs]
home = [ "HTML", "SITEMAP"]
section = [ "HTML", "SITEMAP" ]

A sitemap and a sitemap index are two very different things. The OP is creating a sitemap.
There is no need to specify an output format. By default, a sitemap.xml file is created in the root of the publish directory.
There is no reason to place it in static directory. It will be overwritten when layouts/_default/sitemap.xml is rendered. Run hugo --path-warnings and it will inform you of the duplicate target path.
Where in Google? Please post a screen capture.

This is the screen shot, still got an error. But, Google send an email said everything worked and I can find my blog using Google search. @jmooring
If you click on the red error you will see more detail.
Actually, I have seen it before I ask help in the forum. Google console just the format error but nothing else.
However, It works with the ‘error’. So, Thank you for the help!! @jmooring
Hey!
My guess is that the culprits might be the unicode characters in the sitemap, which are confusing google search console, for example you have:
which is translated by hugo into:
